Abel Amunga has addressed rumors that his daughter Ruth Matete is to be blamed for the death of her late husband Beloved John Olakami Apewajoye.
Matete was widowed just five months into her wedding. She lost her husband in a tragic accident on April 11th, 2020.
Ruth’s late husband died from injuries he sustained after a fire accident at their home, he was admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital for two weeks before he succumbed to fire-related injuries while undergoing treatment.
Matete’s father says he was deeply hurt when Kenyans on social media portrayed his daughter in bad light following her husband’s death.
Speaking during an interview with Massawe Japanni on Radio Jambo, Amunga said a family member wanted to portray his daughter as having a hand in her late husband’s death.
Immediately after his son-in-law’s death, a close family to the couple -Jesse Mcjessiey came out to accuse the singer of allegedly having a hand in her husband’s death.
He shared a video that highlighted the couple’s troubled marriage alleging that Matete was violent towards her husband and had reportedly stabbed him.

But according to Amunga, the video was a normal argument between Matete and her husband and that the video was taken even before their wedding.
Amuga stated that Mcjessiey had ulterior motives, he said that if Mcjessiey knew his daughter was abusive like he alleged, he would have made sure the wedding did not happen.
